Abstract
Abstract A dresser tool comprises two composite compacts positioned to crush and shear the grinding wheel. Preferably one composite compact is arranged such that its working edge contacts the grinding wheel tangentially; and the other compact is placed so that its working edge is normal to the grinding wheel at a rake angle ranging from positive to negative.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
An improved multi-point dressing tool for grinding wheels comprising a shank portion and a nib and having at least two composite compacts positioned on the nib wherein a composite compact comprises: (a) a mass comprising at least 70 volume percent of an abrasive selected from the group consisting of diamond and cubic boron nitride particles which are bonded together and wherein there is crystal-to-crystal bonding in the case of diamond, and which mass is bonded to; (b) a substrate mass of cemented carbide selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, and tantalum carbides; wherein the improvement comprises a dressing tool means having a first composite compact crushing means with a leading abrasive edge and a second composite compact shearing means with a leading abrasive edge, said first composite compact being positioned on said nib such that its leading edge contacts the rotating surface of the grinding wheel tangentially to crush the wheel and said second composite compact being positioned such that its leading edge is normal to the grinding wheel surface to shear the wheel.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
An improved multi-point dressing tool for grinding wheels comprising a shank portion and a nib and having at least two composite compacts positioned on the nib wherein a composite compact comprises: (a) a mass comprising at least 70 volume percent of an abrasive selected from the group consisting of diamond and cubic boron nitride particles which are bonded together and wherein there is crystal-to-crystal bonding in the case of diamond, and which mass is bonded to; (b) a substrate mass of cemented carbide selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, and tantalum carbides; wherein the improvement comprises a dressing tool means having a first composite compact crushing means with a leading abrasive edge and a second composite compact shearing means with a leading abrasive edge, said first composite compact being positioned on said nib such that its leading edge contacts the rotating surface of the grinding wheel tangentially to crush the wheel and said second composite compact being positioned such that its leading edge is normal to the grinding wheel surface to shear the wheel.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The improved dressing tool of claim 22, wherein said first and second composite compacts present edges in a substantially orthogonal relationship.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
19 words
The improved dressing tool of claim 2 wherein said second composite compact is set at a positive rake angle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
147 words
A double action dressing tool for a grinding wheel comprising (a) a body defining a nib said nib having first, second, and third composite compacts extending therefrom; (b) wherein a composite compact comprises: (1) a mass of at least 70 volume percent of an abrasive selected from the group consisting of diamond and cubic boron nitride particles bonded together wherein there is crystal-to-crystal bonding in the case of diamond, and which mass is bonded to; (2) a substrate mass of a cemented carbide selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, and tantalum carbides; (c) said first and third composite compacts comprising crush dressing means each presenting an elongate abrasive working edge to tangentially contact and crush the grinding wheel periphery; and (d) said second composite compact comprising shear dressing means presenting a working edge transverse to the direction of wheel rotation to shear the grinding wheel.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
147 words
A double action dressing tool for a grinding wheel comprising (a) a body defining a nib said nib having first, second, and third composite compacts extending therefrom; (b) wherein a composite compact comprises: (1) a mass of at least 70 volume percent of an abrasive selected from the group consisting of diamond and cubic boron nitride particles bonded together wherein there is crystal-to-crystal bonding in the case of diamond, and which mass is bonded to; (2) a substrate mass of a cemented carbide selected from the group consisting of tungsten, titanium, and tantalum carbides; (c) said first and third composite compacts comprising crush dressing means each presenting an elongate abrasive working edge to tangentially contact and crush the grinding wheel periphery; and (d) said second composite compact comprising shear dressing means presenting a working edge transverse to the direction of wheel rotation to shear the grinding wheel.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
The dressing tool of claim 4, wherein said second composite compact is set at a positive rake angle.
